14.2. Displaying the language
The following commands help you find out which language is the
working language, and also what language source files were written in.
- show language
Display the current working language. This is the
language you can use with commands such as print to
build and compute expressions that may involve variables in your program.
- info frame
Display the source language for this frame. This language becomes the
working language if you use an identifier from this frame. Refer to Section 8.4 Information about a frame, to identify the other
information listed here.
- info source
Display the source language of this source file. Refer to Chapter 15 Examining the Symbol Table, to identify the other
information listed here.
In unusual circumstances, you may have source files with extensions
not in the standard list. You can then set the extension associated
with a language explicitly:
- set extension-language .ext language
Set source files with extension .ext to be assumed to be in
the source language language.
- info extensions
List all the filename extensions and the associated languages.
